EMJ Cardiology 2.1 2014

The field of cardiology is a rapidly growing and developing one. Thanks to the progress which has been made within this area, the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) – accountable for over 10,000 deaths a year – as well as other heart diseases has been reduced. Thus, it is my hope that this issue of the European Medical Journal Cardiology, full with the most up-to-date research as well as the most groundbreaking and game-changing updates, will be able to provide you with new and insightful ways of how to further reduce this burden.
